"We've almost completed our excavation. The chamber was located precisely where your plans indicated, though I must admit that it was somewhat larger than we initially anticipated. Our original plan to drag it simply isn't going to fly, instead I've commissioned the workshop at Thonis to construct an appropriately-sized wagon. I estimate you'll have your hands on the goods before the next new moon."
Letter to Ranno of the Merchant's Guild
Hi all,
We find ourselves here, a hair's breadth before Christmas, with the penultimate update of the year. It's a more substantial update than usual, with a plethora of new content. Nothing is explicitly seasonal, though we've clearly decided to deliver these elements now due to the logical connection with all things chilly.

Firstly we've added the Minoan race to the game. Currently you'll meet only one, though there will soon be many more as members of the influential Merchant's Guild. This is the first interaction you'll have with the secretive group, but it won't be the last...

Bringing home the seasonal theme this December is our new Extreme Exotic NPC, the Ancient Dragon. She has only now awoken from her ancient rest, this update marks the start of her interest in what has become of Sabu. For now you can enjoy her feminine side, though there will be more scenes with her in the near future. This is only the beginning of her story and of uncovering other beings lost beneath the dunes.

The Frost-Forged weapons are also now available to craft as well. For now they don't have status effects, though we will add these once we reach the next milestone with the combat and inventory systems.
A veritable blizzard of minor changes have arrived as well, including new SFX, tonnes of voice acting, improvements to monsters, and more. Check out the full patch notes below.
We want to thank each and every patron for your incredible support. Without you we wouldn't have been able to reach this pace of development. We've come so far in the last year and we're really looking forward to getting our teeth into the main story.

I cant download this version for some reason, it keeps freezing. The farthest my download has gotten is 9%. I've tried deleting all my old saves and versions but I still can't download.
Fionn21
Just wondering if pregnancy is going to be implemented soon. Because the ride the pony quest teased about it and I know that was a little while back

Ive run into a wierd glitch with water. After i leave water the character just runs on the air.
Edward Ravenbear
Yup had the same issues. I have like five keys from the jailer and none work.
I've found the key during the quest Diamond in the Rough. The jailer had two keys on her.
Gamma_470
Can confirm both those bugs. In my case item loss seems to especially effect quest items.
found a bug if you do the footsteps of the dragon quest with the spirit sand in inventory you lose the sand
JWpilot01
Two glitches I have come across: 1. Cannot free the prisoner in the SouthWest cage. The keys dropped by the jailer don't work. 2. Sometimes I lose an item from General Inventory when I change skins, but not always.
David Ulmer
They actually don't, they just don't show up in the game anymore. Saves are stored in Users/"Your user name"/AppData/Local/Carnal_Instinct/Saved/SavedGames
Larry Erickson
You can chose the place the game files are stores, for me it's in the documents and it seems they get deleted or over written in the update.

I've also been having this problem ever since I switched to an AMD card. It appears to be a problem with this gen of AMDs. I reported the bug on the Discord but didn't get too much by way of responses, but I imagine they've taken note. It's been happening the last several game builds, so hopefully they fix it soon.

Got to love the fact we get to fuck a dragon
Happy Holidays, CI team. Thanks for the update. That said, I was curious if you did any testing with AMD GPUs? I grabbed myself a 6700XT recently, and have found myself experiencing UE4 "LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 198] Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost. (Error: 0x887a006 - 'HUNG]" Errors very consistently in CI. Particularly, in transitions in animated scenes. So far, the most consistent example of this is the transition between the x-ray and non x-ray portions of the animation stage with the demi-feline near the docks. Around 10-15s into that animation stage, UE4 will CTD. This seems to be related to spikes in GPU utilization, as I notice a drop in utilization to ~30-50% during the x-ray and then a spike to 99% as the scene transitions out of the x-ray. Lowering my settings from High to Medium seems to have also increased the time it takes for this crash to occur. Of course, this is just correlation, and not necessarily causation. Alas, I've had no luck replicating this or a similar issue in some other UE games I play, and can't provide you much else other than the above. In any case, I hope this is something not too heinous to resolve. Thanks for the hard work!
Edward Ravenbear
Having a similar issue.
Where are the old saves kept? I am concerned that with each major update, and need to start a new game, they are somewhere on the drive and need to be deleted to maintain the system's free space.
Whale Tunnel
So every time i switch skin all of my inventory just disappear along with i cant interact with some NPC to even speak or start a quest
How do I gain the update? Every time I open the launcher it says it's still version 3.18
piepman
Have to start a new game after every update
wowplayer00
question: can you have sex whit the sexy Felian ? at the docks ?
Edward Ravenbear
I cannot get to the ruined temple in milk and honey. I keep running into the red wall about 70m from it.
cant wait until download works trying to update over 6 Hours now, it stops everytime working after some time. maybe another way to get downloads would be good.
vaperino
to start the 2 new quests you have to finish the vessel of q'tesh quest first
ThingsBetwixt
To start winter winds, you need to finish the Diamond in the Rough quest then talk a pair of jackal masked guards on the docks. (They should have a quest marker) by doing that quest you'll get winter winds.
how do i start winter winds?
how do i talk to dragon?

I just wanna say beyond like, porn things, the Minoans are such a cool take on Minotaurs. I really like them from just an art standpoint, they're an absolutely sick design.
TheLionWriter
Found the dragon, but she just sits on top of a stone wall and no way to interact with her. I suppose I should find the winter winds quest first.
Gambier Ghost
So I found where the minoan is supposed to be but they're definitely not there
Dragon is down and left on the port of Kusuma. ( "under river")
Drake Black
Mine did to I think its cos there are new things in the game meaning you'll have to start againe like evory new update cos the old saves are not conpatable.
Larry Erickson
My save data disappeared with this update.
Drake Black
soffar evorything works fine but I am curios is there a up to date interactive map by chance?
Bryan Thornburg
Really hope the changed save system fixes the issue where trying to save the game either takes like 5 minutes, or just completely locks up the PC.
Kyr Dunkelwasser
Might be a weird question, but I've not found the dragon yet. Is it not available yet? Or am I bein gdumb.
VirusLTU
I hoped that it this update gonna be added influence or pregnancy but well it's something cool
